    Unable to upgrade to 21H1 for several weeks error 0x80070003


    Hi!I have a suggestion to update my Windows 10 to 21H1 in the Windows update window. But every time I try to do this installation it fails 75% with error 0x80070003. Passes the preparation and download states successfully and stops only during installation.I also tried the update helper tool, but faced the same problem.Now I have Windows 10 Pro 20H2.

    Unable to update from 1809 to 1903 with error 0x80070003

    Hello,
    For the past week I've been failing to upgrade my Windows 10 desktop from 1809 to 1903

    The update process is always the same:
    The update downloads successfuly, I restart the computer, It shuts down (with the usual update progress bar that gets to 100%). It boots up and then at 9% the update stops and it says: "Failure configuring Windows updates. Reverting changes. Do not turn off your computer". Then it boots up normaly to 1809.

    I've tried the folllowing things:
    1. Windows 10 Update Assistant - Same error
    2. Deleting Windows Update files - Same error
    3. I ran disk checks and Windows Update troubleshooter - Same error

    I've looked at the "setuperr.log" (C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\setuperr.log) file and it always shows the following error at the bottom:

    Code:
    My computer only has a C: drive, the D: drive is the optical drive. I don't have anything in it or any other storage device connected to the computer during the update.


    System information:
    • Desktop: Windows 10 Home 1809
    • CPU: Intel i5-4440
    • RAM: 8 GB DDR3
    • HDD: 1 Tb (300+ Gb free)

    Unable to upgrade to 21H1 for several weeks error 0x80070003

    can't fix error 0x80070003

    Hello,
    I've upgraded 2 days ago and started receiving error code 0x80070003. I found instructions to fix the error. The first step is to run cmd as Admin, but it won't run as Admin - nothing happens. I can run with reduced privileges, but not as admin. I don't know if anything else is affected. Why is it not letting me run as Admin, and how can I fix it?
